Your ATS tracks résumés, but it doesn’t nudge them forward. Convert—the final stage of the Voice-Enabled Recruitment Automation (VERA) framework—adds that missing muscle.
As host Martyn explains, this is where insights turn into action: deciding who advances, who needs a follow-up, and how to keep the hiring journey humming. Co-host Adrian jumps in to frame the big shift:
“Unlike traditional ATS setups that rely on manual input, VERA’s voice automation actively engages candidates and delivers real-time, data-driven insights. It’s a game-changer.”
Bottom line? Recruiters get smarter, faster decisions without sacrificing the human touch.
The ATS is the backbone of most talent teams—but on its own it’s a filing cabinet. VERA bolts on a voice-driven layer of engagement that makes that data work for you.
Scenario: 200 customer-support applicants
Because VERA captures tone, sentiment, and context, recruiters see notes like:
Candidate demonstrated strong problem-solving during voice screening.
“VERA is like having a co-pilot,” Adrian says. “It handles repetitive tasks—scheduling, follow-ups, document requests—so recruiters can focus on high-value conversations.”
During every call, VERA collects more than words:
These subtleties flow into the ATS as an at-a-glance summary:
Strong cultural fit; lacking advanced Excel. Recommend technical assessment.
Because every applicant runs through the same scoring lens, bias drops and diversity goals rise—especially helpful when high-volume hiring threatens decision fatigue.
Martyn quips, “It’s like having a second set of ears that never misses a detail.”
VERA never makes the final call—that’s still human—but it filters the funnel so recruiters review the right candidates, not all candidates.
Once a recruiter clicks “Advance candidate,” VERA becomes an always-on assistant:
Every touchpoint is name-plus-context personalized, so applicants feel like people—not pipeline IDs.
Automation isn’t de-humanization; it’s amplification. VERA:
Adrian shares a favourite win: VERA scheduled everything for a technical finalist, but flagged lingering culture-fit questions. The recruiter jumped in for a personal chat, sealed the deal, and the candidate signed the offer—all because automation freed time for true human connection.
